It is not only illegal to do so, but morally wrong!
Stealing anything is possible, but is it right?
Today this area is called Cow Bay,
Official name: Cameron Cove.
A dairy was located here and Cow Bay name stuck from that.
Squatters were forced to live here,
since the GTPR controlled the downtown area.
You either bought a lot from them, or lived here.
Area named after Chief of Police,
Vickers
Vickersville was located about 3,000 ft NE of the
GTPR wharf.
James H. Bacon, GTP Harbour Engineer,
and Chief Constable, and JP, William H. Vickers, had to give permission
to erect tent houses here.
James H. Bacon
b- Mar 1864, in Eastern USA
d- ?
Immigrated in 1905
Graduated from Harvard in 1882
wife Bessie? Bacon, no info recorded for her.
Aug 1904 the Canadian Government deported Mr. Bacon,
and the other American Engineers hired by the GTPR on this job.
He was obviously brought back for the job after that.
for such a famous fellow, he is very hard to track down.
My guess for him:
I believe his name was James Harrison Bacon,
born in Mass, USA, shown age 61 in 1920 US census
in Jacksonville, Duval, Florida.
Shown as a Civil Engineer, with wife Bessie, age 43, b- New York
I know he was in Florida in 1903 doing Hydrographic Work,
shown as a member of the United States Engineer Corps, Assistant Engineer.
Aug 6, 1904 I know he was in Port Arthur.
William Henry "Billy" Vickers
b- Oct-Dec 1861, Plymouth, Devon, England,
(age 59 in 1921, age 37 when he married)
d- May 6, 1929 in Victoria BC, age 67
Immigrated in 1895 or 1883?
son of William Henry Vickers, and Elizabeth nee ?
married Lucy Mellor, Oct 30, 1901 in Anglican Church, Victoria, BC
b- Oct 30, 1880, Manchester, England
(age 40 in 1921, age 21 when she married)
d- Aug 3, 1965, in Victoria BC, age 84
Immigrated in 1898,
daughter of William "Joseph" Mellor and Lois Bossom
William and Lucy's daughter, Evelyn Ada Irene Vickers
b- ca 1911, in Prince Rupert, BC
all 3 living in Fulton St, Prison or 6th st?
they all appear twice in the 1921 census which is weird?

Disclaimer
I am an Amateur Historian, and Genealogist.
I use every source I can find, old newspapers, census, archives,
etc.
I do a quick search for the names on these pages.
Therefore I do NOT profess to have 100% accurate information.
Use my info as a clue to do your own research.
I am not related to these folks, nor do I have hidden info.
I encourage everyone to visit their local Museum,
or buy a local history book for more info.
I attempt to connect people with their ancestor in these places.
If it works on just one person, per page, it is worth the time it
takes me.
I do not charge for access to my pages,
I do not have any Ads on my pages.
Please "link" to my
page from Facebook, etc.
Please do Not copy the pictures, or text on any page.
Please do Not ask to use pictures etc. on Facebook.
A "link" to my pages, does the same thing.
Just copy the hyper link, URL, shown in your browser above,
and paste that into facebook etc.,
or copy the links I have on the left side.
That is the honest and descent way to to do it!
Duplicates online?
Note- You will see some of the same pictures,
on other Archive / Museum sites online.
(Without my watermarks, and copyright information obviously.)
Reason- Most of these photos were commercial postcards,
and multi copies were made and sold.
All have different writing on the back is the difference.
I don't include all the backs to save bandwidth, but have them in my data.
Trust me, I DO NOT STEAL ARCHIVE PHOTOS!
I hope they, and others, Do NOT Steal mine!
If you want a copy of these, please ask them, not me!
